For those that missed it watch this bullshit. CLEARLY not a flagrant and to make it worse Zbo and Barnes who are friends hug.. Zbo tells the ref it's fine and they still review it and deem it a flagrant. But something I didn't notice till now is Blake says to the ref "Are you serious" and he says "Get out my face!" with some major attitude. I'm telling you guys the refs despise our players and it's bullshit that Stern allows it to continue with this bias instead of disciplining them.

I've said before and i'll say it again. I think it's a great idea for the refs to have to face the media after the game. If the media can scrutinize players and coaches post game. The refs should also be able to do that after the game because let's face it they can definitely decide the outcome of the game

I agree. Post game interviews and fines should be a part of reffing.

Yup, refs hate us for no reason. And no you can't say we complain too much. Other teams and players all complain alot and arguably more than us. Look at Kobe, Westbrook, Durant. And their teams and themselves get alot of calls.

That's seriously a great idea, also they should get publicly graded so we can see which refs prefer which teams. For instance if Joey Crawfords average grade against the Lakers is a C- then he shouldn't be allowed to ref them anymore. #StopTheRigging

And everytime they found out that they made a wrong call they should get fined or banned like the players, Look what happen to Dirk's flop againts Blake, We lose that game and nothing happen to the ref.

Yeah I don't understand how he wasn't fined for that. I was mad for days cause of that ridiculously unfair call.

I wish I was good at making videos. I would make a compilation of Memphis flops this series. Bunch of hypocrites to any memphis fan that criticize us.

Refs aren't exactly the Clippers' best friends. We fans can bitch all we like- nothing wrong with that. But if the Clipper players allow themselves to believe that the refs were one of the excuses/reasons for the ugly loss last night, then we have a major problem....

lol i did that last year. didnt have the technology to capture it in HD, so all i got was bootleg "low-pixel camera at the tv"footage.

Fourth quarter after the Gasol and Griffin double technical, Blake and DeAndre both grab and touch the ball after the a free throw.

Ref - "That's not necessary"

Blake - "Just like the double technicals weren't necessary"

I dont understand this. If refs dont like us because we (according to media) argue alot dont give us any calls, what about gasol???

That dude argues everything. His fouls, the clippers fouls, his teammates fouls, how the refs call the game. Tje guy selling soda pops. The way the cheerleaders dance. his lack of plans for after the game. his brother being a laker. etc etc

yet the refs let him talk. CP argues their bu++&%it and gets a quick T.

I don't understand either. It's all frickin BS!!! Pretty much all teams argue with refs but they hate us more. When I especially hear select laker, thunder fans complaining about refs non stop, I just shake my head. They are obviously blind and ignorant.

And this reffing is nothing new,,it's been like that for at least a 15 years. The difference is we pretty much sucked a lot of the last 15 years to the point that we were going nowhere most of the time, so in the long run it didn't matter (you'd just get pissed for a day). But now we have a real team and this kind of bull crap does make a difference to us. We need to be treated equally,,not asking for better (like Kobe and Durant demand) , just treat us equal.

If it's a foul for us, it's a foul for them. Is that too hard to do?

BTW,,did you notice since things went there way so well last night as far as the refs,,you didn't here the cheer you hear a lot at Clipper games lately (and other arenas too, ask Doc R) , "Refs you suck!".

i totally agree. There was a play last night that made me mad at first. It's the one where Allen was shading CP3 to penetrate the right lane, but Gasol was waiting for him, and CP3 kinda pushed Allen off and they called an offensive foul. In real time, I thought the refs were playing us, but after the play was slowed down, he for sure committed a foul.

It seems that we have this tendency to get desperate at the wrong times, the same way we get comfortable at the wrong times. And when we get desperate, our players commit some weird and unnecessary fouls.

Oh well, I have a good feeling about tomorrow. They need to get DJ involved early when no one expects it, then run the offense through Butler and Grif until its crunch time and let the wings do work.

LETS TAKE GAME 4!

gasol whines like a b**** and so does ZBO. yet nothing is called. Bg says something, technical foul. the only way we can overcome this, is to make the fouls count. no p***y fouls. if they get more ft's but they cant play in the next game, then its good for us. enough is enough. @david, you can blame the refs, especially when both teams are equally aggressive yet they shoot 15 more ft's. we lost by 12. we only missed 1 foul shot. its safe to say the game would have been much closer, or we may have pulled it out. they also shot the ball at 39 percent. the refs were what carried them in game 3.

In game 3, refs stalled any momentum the clippers had. BUt we shot like **** and played like **** these last two games.
